Teebillz Opens Up About Mother’s Death, Says It “Broke” Him But Also “Woke Something” in Him
Nigerian music executive Tunji Balogun, popularly known as Teebillz, has opened up about the emotional aftermath of losing his mother, describing how her passing shattered him but also triggered a powerful awakening within.
The father of four, who lost his mum in June last year, took to Instagram this evening to share a heartfelt message reflecting on grief, growth, and redemption.
According to Teebillz, the pain of his mother’s death pushed him into deep reflection, leading him to confront past mistakes and seek peace with those he may have hurt.
He wrote:
“After all the pain and loss, losing my mother broke me, but it also woke something in me…!
To my kids, their mothers, my family, and my loved ones… I’m sorry for the hurt I caused.
I’m trying… and trusting God to fix what I can’t.”
The post has since stirred emotional reactions online, with fans and colleagues commending his honesty and courage to embrace vulnerability — a rare move in an industry where emotional openness is often masked by fame and success.
💭 Opinion: A Mother’s Love, A Son’s Healing — Teebillz’s Reflection Reminds Us of the Power of Grief to Transform
Grief has a strange way of reshaping people — it tears down walls, humbles egos, and reveals the parts of us we often hide. Teebillz’s reflection isn’t just about pain; it’s about rebirth. Losing a parent — especially a mother — creates a void words can’t fill, but it also forces a reckoning with who we are and how we’ve lived.
In a world that celebrates strength and silence, Teebillz’s message is a soft reminder that healing begins when we acknowledge our brokenness. His apology to his children, their mothers, and loved ones shows growth — not weakness. It’s a man learning to take accountability while leaning on faith to rebuild.
More than a celebrity post, this feels like a chapter of rediscovery — one where a grieving son finds peace through self-awareness and forgiveness.
And perhaps, in that pain, lies a message for us all: that grief can break us, but it can also wake us — if we let it.
